About the Theatre

We believe that theatre is more than just entertainment—it is a vital mechanism for connection. Founded in 1929, Ann Arbor Civic Theatre was built on an open-door policy: a belief that a community thrives when its members create together. Hundreds of productions later, we continue to provide an artistic home for the Greater Ann Arbor area, proving that while faces and stages change, our collective need for shared stories remains constant.

Review: LINDSEY STIRLING’S DUALITY TOUR at Acrisure Amphitheater

by Brian Hilbrand · August 22, 2026

We were fortunate to attend the second-to-last stop on Lindsey Stirling’s Duality Tour, after her most recent album of the same name.

Photo Review: Mary Kutter and Junior Brown, Special Guest for Hank Williams, Jr.

by Brian Hilbrand · August 16, 2026

Kentucky-raised and Nashville-based, Mary Kutter writes songs that live in the gray area, blurring genre lines and creative narratives. Drawing from country storytelling and rock-leaning intensity, her music favors sharp images over easy answers. As both a songwriter and recording artist, Kutter gra…
